the rest of it

Back at work and not enjoying it very much, so I'll take the opportunity to turn away from the several hundred e-mails during lunch and blog instead.

Had a great vacation, but it turned out being a bit emotional as well...always is when I'm visiting family and friends who I don't get to see often enough.

Things we got to do that I'm very happy about:

See both M and K's new places and actually meet the mysterious Marco.

See Dude and T's new place, which is very envy inducing.

Had a very nice brunch with the family organized by Dad which allowed us to see some folks we would have otherwise missed. (thanks!)

Had a very drunk night with Dude and T during which we sang Christmas carols and grooved to a variety of other fun tunes. Though my memories of the night are somewhat blurred, they are some of my favorites from the vaca.

Spent some final hours down at Maalox Manor. I didn't really need to go inside to say goodbye, but I sure won't regret making the trip once the place is no longer part of the family.

Managed to get in a game of Candy Land with e and stayed up talking with M until the early hours of the morning. Wish it could've been longer!

G and I had very smooth trips to the airport both coming and going. Yay us!

Things I missed:

Getting to see TnT.
Getting to see BG.
Getting to see J and C.
Getting to see MJ.
Getting to see....etc.

But I need to get over it. I'm only one person and it's supposed to be a vacation for both myself and G. If I'd tried to squish anything else in, the stress levels would've shot through the roof and I'd be getting none of the relax time I needed. (Seeing what I've come back to here in the newly reorganized company, I'm thinking I'll need a solid couple weeks reading trash novels on some Hawaiian beach to truly leave the stress behind.)
